Cobra Spotlight- Jalynn Fortt & Cassandra Ordonez, Women's Soccer

Nov 10, 2013

The "Cobra Spotlight" is a weekly highlight of a student-athlete
at Coker College. Each week we take a different athlete from a
different sport and display some facets to get more familiar with
them. This week we take a look at Jalynn Fortt and Cassandra
Ordonez, members of the women's soccer team.

Name: Jalynn Fortt

Sport: Soccer

Position: Defender

Hometown: Aurora, CO

Year: Sophomore

Major: Business administration

Why did you choose Coker? Coker’s campus
size played a major role in me deciding to come here. I attended a
small high school and wanted to continue my education in the same
environment.

What is your best memory at Coker (athletic
related)? My first collegiate goal. It was a header from
an impossible angle, probably one of the best goals I have ever
scored.

What is your best memory at Coker (non-athletic
related)? Every memory I have made with my best friends on
campus. There is way too many to choose just one, but I am sure
Bailey Van Order was there.

Which athletic team would you play on at Coker other
than your own? Tennis

Favorite class: Macroeconomics

Favorite professor: I would have to go with Dr.
Stevano

Plans after graduation: I want to continue my
education by attending grad school back in Colorado.

Favorite movie: The Polar Express

Favorite type of music: Anything with a good
sound that I can dance to.

Favorite food: FOOD!

Favorite sports team: Denver Nuggets &
Chicago Bulls

Favorite color: Green, yellow, red, black and
white

Favorite TV show: The Call of the Wild Man

Most prized possession: My cellular phone

What is something people may not know about
you? I played tennis for seven years, and was pretty good
at it

Do you have a nickname? If so, how did you get
it? J. I don’t remember where I got it, I just know
I’ve always been called J.

Major: Biology with a pre-medical
concentration, and a minor in sociology

Why did you choose Coker? I chose Coker for two
reasons: the soccer team and the campus size. I wanted to play on a
team that was fun to be around, and classes that make you feel more
like a contributor than a number.

What is your best memory at Coker (athletic
related)? My most memorable moment playing for the
women’s soccer team would have to be our 1-0 victory against
regionally ranked Newberry College.

What is your best memory at Coker (non-athletic
related)? Homecoming was by far the most fun I have had on
campus.

Which athletic team would you play on at Coker other
than your own? I think I would play lacrosse. The sport
seems like it would be really fun, and a lot of the girls on the
team are pretty cool.
